Nerds can really be quite funny. Example:
Nerds + LOL = Fun
GET IT? GET IT? H2O2? You see, it’s funny because only idiots would die in lab accidents. Plus, the cat is wearing a bow tie, and bow ties are cool.

I know that the stated purpose of this blog is to (as graduate English students) explain things about life, the universe, and double-sided tape, but I have just had a brush with death that has widened my horizons with regard to post subjects.
I was walking up the steps of the library, on my way back to work after a class, and a squirrel darted into my path, making noises like a Geiger counter and looking completely out of its nut-grubbing mind. I quickly froze, resisting the urge to go into plank mode (which would have merely put my face closer to the squirrel’s teeth); after a quick look in my direction, however, the furry fiend decided that the bush across from me was a more worthy victim and pounced away into the shrubbery.
The madness did not end here, however.
Mere seconds later, as I conversed at the head of the stairs with fellow blog-star Ginny Woolf, a giant freaking HAWK the size of an Airbus nearly knocked my head off with its Brobdingnagian talons. In response, I reacted the way any self-respecting graduate student would – I screamed at the top of my lungs, “HOLY MOTHER OF SWEET JESUS!!!!” I think I can still hear my words reverberating off of the cement-and-brick buildings surrounding the quad.
Long story short, dear hypothetical (or, dare I hope, actual and living?) Readers, the take-away lesson of my zoological experiences is: keep an eye peeled. There is an army of hallucinogen-popping rodents and razor-clawed birds of prey waiting to take over the world at any moment.

An Airbus. Imagine this coming towards your face. No innuendo intended.
